TLDR
Management of patients with intestinal failure requires an early recognition of the condition and the analysis of its risk of irreversibility, and should include therapies adapted to each stage of intestinal failure based on a multidisciplinary approach in centers involving pediatric gastroenterology, parenteral nutrition expertise, home parenTERal nutrition program, pediatric surgery, and liver intestinal transplantation program.

Gut peristalsis is governed by a multitude of cooperating mechanisms.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the role of ICC as slow-wave pacemaker cells and places ICC into the context of other control mechanisms, including control systems intrinsic to smooth muscle cells, and addresses some areas of controversy related to the origin and propagation of pacemaker activity.

Improved survival in a multidisciplinary short bowel syndrome program

TL;DR: A multidisciplinary approach to intestinal rehabilitation allows for fully integrated care of inpatients and outpatients with SBS by fostering coordination of surgical, medical, and nutritional management.

Very low birth weight preterm infants with surgical short bowel syndrome: incidence, morbidity and mortality, and growth outcomes at 18 to 22 months.

TL;DR: At 18 to 22 months' corrected age, extremely low birth weight infants with short bowel syndrome were more likely to have growth failure than infants without short bowel Syndrome and these infants had growth delay with shorter lengths and smaller head circumferences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal failure in children: the European view.

TL;DR: Better awareness of the risks and benefits of intestinal transplantation have resulted in better patient selection, and ultimately in improved patient survival, hence restricting the indication to transplantation only to patients with nutritional failure and no other chance to survive.

Clinical and molecular features of the immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X linked (IPEX) syndrome

TL;DR: IPEX can be differentiated from other genetic immune disorders by its genetics, clinical presentation, characteristic pattern of pathology, and, except for high IgE, absence of substantial laboratory evidence of immunodeficiency.

Immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, and X-linked inheritance (IPEX), a syndrome of systemic autoimmunity caused by mutations of FOXP3, a critical regulator of T-cell homeostasis.

TL;DR: The clinical features of IPEX and the structure, function, and known mutations of FOXP3 that provide important insights into its role in maintenance of immune homeostasis are described.

Biological actions and therapeutic potential of the glucagon-like peptides.

TL;DR: Inhibitors of DP IV activity, or DP IV-resistant glucagon-like peptide analogues, may be alternative therapeutic approaches for treatment of human diseases.

Glucagon-like peptide 2 improves nutrient absorption and nutritional status in short-bowel patients with no colon

TL;DR: Treatment with GLP-2 improves intestinal absorption and nutritional status in short-bowel patients with impaired postprandial GLp-2 secretion in whom the terminal ileum and the colon have been resected.
